AARON LINES – You Get The Picture

Barry White, he woke me out of my sleep
“Love Unlimited” on infinite repeat
I live alone, so why’s the shower running?
My mind is groggy – my memory’s foggy
The smell of incense lingers in the bedroom
I can’t believe it’s already past noon
On my arm there’s a strange new tattoo
Shirt on the fan blade – pants on the lampshade

You get the picture, clear as a bell
You get the picture, just hang it on your bedroom wall
You get the picture, and put a frame around it
Empty bottle of tequila, Jose Cuervo margaritas
Popcorn and a game of Twister
You get the picture… you get the picture

A book of matches on my dresser from the Sky Bar
Doggie bag from Dos Amigos
That valet parker still has the keys to my car
Piece by piece, it’s coming back to me
I met my buddies after work
We shot some pool, a couple beers
Before I knew it, we were rocking
Met some girls, we started talking
It’s not like me to get nervous, but she was perfect

You get the picture, clear as a bell
You get the picture, just hang it on your bedroom wall
You get the picture, and put a frame around it
A mariachi band was playing, she was dancing close and swaying
Fireworks when I kissed her
You get the picture

Suddenly, the shower opens in a cloud of steam
Standing there, the woman of my dreams

You get the picture, clear as a bell
You get the picture, just hang it on your bedroom wall
You get the picture, and put a frame around it
You get the picture
You get the picture, clear as a bell
You get the picture, just hang it on your bedroom wall
You get the picture

AARON LINES – When We Make Love

Baby let your hair fall down around me
Let me feel your body close right next to me
There’s something about the way you look into my eyes
That let’s me know that you wear no disguise

[Chorus]
When we make love
It feels brand new
And I can’t imagine my life without you
The world stands still as we move
And I know that we’re two of the lucky few
When we make love

Baby you broke the chains around this heart
You made this jaded man put down his guard
And I don’t know all the words to say how I feel inside
Baby let me show you tonight

[Chorus]
When we make love
It feels brand new
And I can’t imagine my life without you
The world stands still as we move
And I know that we’re two of the lucky few
When we make love

Baby hold on tight, don’t ever let go
I wanna feel you in my arms and my soul

Baby, baby, baby

The world stands still as we move
And I know that we’re two of the lucky few
And I know that we’re two of the lucky few
When we make love

AARON LINES – You Can't Hide Beautiful

She says don’t stare at me
She’s afraid that I might see
Those 5 extra pounds she talks about
I don’t know what she’s talking about

She looks through magazines
With every page she dreams of
Looking like somebody else
I wish she wasn’t so hard on herself

Then she falls asleep with just my t-shirt on
But even when her hair’s messed up and her make-up’s gone

You can’t hide Beautiful
You can’t hide wonderful
There’s nothing that she has to do
It just comes natural
She makes it look easy
I love what she does to me
No way to disguise
The way that she shines
You can’t hide beautiful

She can take a simple dress
Put it on and turn some heads
Everytime she moves she gets me
She doesn’t even know she’s sexy

And the way she thinks sometimes
Out of nowhere blows my mind
She makes me laugh and makes me dream
I love the way she looks at things

A little piece of heaven god gave to this world
She might think she’s just an ordinary girl

You can’t hide Beautiful
You can’t hide wonderful
There’s nothing that she has to do
It just comes natural
She makes it look easy
I love what she does to me
No way to disguise
The way that she shines
You can’t hide beautiful

AARON LINES – Twenty Years Late

Hey mom I know that it’s late, hope I didn’t wake you
Yeah, everything is O.K., just needed to talk to you
Today I had one of those days
But I didn’t call to complain
Just to say everything that I didn’t for all of those years
You were a taxicab driver, a nurse and a maid
A waitress, a cook and a shoulder to lay
My head on to cry on, when nothing was going my way
You knew every answer without cracking a book
And I took for granted that I had it so good
And I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to say
Thank you I love you
Twenty years late

It’s funny how time passing by can change your perspective
A little while out on your own can sure make you think
I don’t know how you did it
No I can’t find one spare minute
The days run together but I don’t remember you
Ever letting us down

You were the judge and the jury when I did wrong
Been my biggest fan from my very first song
The gas in the engine that always kept me moving on
A seamstress a counselor and the one referee
That could cold stop a fight between my brother and me
And I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to say
Thank you I love you
Twenty years late

I’ll let you go now
But I hope that you know now how I feel
Thank you for making me the man I’ve become
I love you and I will always be your son
Mom that’s all I called to say
Twenty years late

AARON LINES – Waitin' On The Wonderful

It’s way too easy to live this life
With your eyes half-closed, don’t I know
I spend half my time bored out of my mind
Sleep walking
Well I wake up to this fool’s parade
And I watch the leaves fall down
I see everything changing
But somehow I feel caged in
Just hangin’ around

I’m waitin’ on the wonderful
Something to set me free
Out of the ordinary
Come and rescue me
I could use a little love, love, love
To send me a sign
I’m tired of the typical
I’m waitin’ on the wonderful

It’s that feelin’ that’s so hard to explain
When the world’s so big and you’re so small
An you get caught up with the wonder of it all
That’s what I’m missing

I saw that look today in a young kid’s face
Eating ice cream in a laundromat
And if you asked him it was Christmas again
I wanna get that back

I’m waitin’ on the wonderful
A little something to believe
Out of the ordinary
A taste of something sweet
I could use a little love, love, love
To send me a sign
I’m tired of the typical
I’m waitin’ on the wonderful

Yeah Yeah
I’m waitin’ on the wonderful
Wooohooohoo
I know it’s out there

I’m waitin’ on the wonderful
A little something to believe
Out of the ordinary
To come and rescue me
I could use a little love, love, love
To send me a sign
I’m tired of the typical
I’m waitin’ on the wonderful

AARON LINES – What Beautiful Is

first time i saw you girl you lit up the room
but how was i supposed to know
beyond the way that your smile caught my eye
you had something deeper to show
but the power of this emotion has revealed
love is more than what i see, it’s what i feel
from the ocean to the clearest starlit sky
i’d seen so many amazing things, still i was so blind
with your touch you opened up a world that i would have missed
you showed me what beautiful is
it’s in the way you can make me laugh
and in how you believe in me
how you follow your heart no matter what the path
and how you give so unselfishly
oh, now i’m seeing colours, where there once was only grey
now i know the kind of love that takes my breath away
from the ocean to the clearest starlit sky
i’d seen so many amazing things, still i was so blind
with your touch you opened up a world that i would have missed
you showed me what beautiful is
yeah…
well, the most amazing thing by far
is you don’t even know how beautiful you are
from the ocean to the clearest starlit sky
well, i’d seen so many things, amazing things, still i was so blind
with your touch you opened up a world that i would have missed
you showed me what beautiful is
darlin’ you are, what beautiful is
what beautiful is

AARON LINES – This Ain't Living

it’s been over ten thousand minutes since you said goodbye
and i’ve thought about that moment at least a million times
you were standing at the kitchen counter, with a single tear in your eye
the day you changed my life

well, i’m still going through the motions
well, i’m still taking in the air
oh, my heart’s still beating, i’m still dreaming
just like when you were here
but something’s wrong, something’s missing
and it doesn’t seem fair
i’m doing all that i can do to make it through
well, i’m still breathing
but this ain’t living without you

well, i can’t smell the roses and the rainbows are just shades of grey
and all those things that made me happy just don’t move me the same
i can’t help but remember us laughing, the way i held you every night
you made my whole world come alive

well, i’m still going through the motions
well, i’m still taking in the air
oh, my heart’s still beating, i’m still dreaming
just like when you were here
but something’s wrong, something’s missing
and it doesn’t seem fair
i’m doing all that i can do to make it through
well, i’m still breathing
but this ain’t living without you

well, i was minding my own business, down at our favourite bookstore
contemplating my own existence, when you walked through that door
you asked how i was doing, so i did my best to lie
but i wanted so bad to tell you, what i really felt inside

(i’m going through the motions)
well, i’m just taking in the air
oh, my heart’s still beating, i’m still dreaming
just like when you were here
but something’s wrong, something’s missing
and it doesn’t seem fair
i’m doing all that i can do to make it through
well, i’m still breathing
but this ain’t living without you

well, i’m still breathing
but this ain’t living without you

AARON LINES – Turn It Up (I Like The Sound Of That)

I like the sound of the ocean crashing
Waves making their way to the beach
I like the sound of the gulf breeze blowing
Holding your hand, the sand on our feet

I like the sound of raindrops dancing
As we sleep away a Sunday afternoon
And I like the sound of the alarm clock ringing
Means I’ll spend another day with you

So turn it up, turn it up
Turn it up a little louder
I can never ever get enough
Turn it up, turn it up
Cause whenever I’m around you
You’ve got me thinking that
I like the sound of that

I like the sound of a fireplace crackling
Watching a movie, holding you tight
Yeah, I love it when I hear you laughing
At that joke I’ve told a thousand times
And I like the sound of guitars screaming
Music so loud we talk with our eyes

Turn it up, turn it up
Turn it up a little louder
I can never ever get enough
Turn it up, turn it up
Cause whenever I’m around you
You’ve got me thinking that
I like the sound of that

I like the sound of your heart beating
In my arms, right here, right now
When it’s so quiet I can hear you breathing
That may be my favourite sound

Turn it up, turn it up
Turn it up a little louder
I can never ever get enough
Turn it up, turn it up
Cause whenever I’m around you
You’ve got me thinking that
I like the sound of that
Turn it up, turn it up
Turn it up a little louder
I can never ever get enough
Turn it up, turn it up
Cause whenever I’m around you
You’ve got me thinking that
I like the sound of that

AARON LINES – The American Way

I grew up under normal conditions
Mom was the radio, Dad was the television
They both were doing the best that they could
Working 50 hour weeks and knocking on wood
I did my time in the public school system
I got good grades, never got a shred of wisdom
Can’t blame my teachers for anything they did
You can’t teach one on one with 33 kids

Ooh Ooh I’m doing all right
I work every day to get to Saturday night
Ooh Ooh I guess I’m doing O.K.
Living and dying the American way

I found the one, we put some roots down
Got a 2nd mortgage on the outskirts of town
Now we barbecue every 4th of July
Send our prayers and our fireworks up into the sky

Ooh Ooh I’m doing all right
I work every day to get to Saturday night
Ooh Ooh I guess I’m doing O.K.
Living and loving the American way

These days we’re thinking ’bout kids of our own
Gonna turn this house into a home
In no time at all they’ll be singing along

Ooh Ooh I’m doing all right
I work every day to get to Saturday night
Ooh Ooh I guess I’m doing O.K.
Living and dying the American way

AARON LINES – Sometimes It's Summertime

Skimpy bikinis and bear skin
It’s always good to see them out again
Cabin fever, grey skies
Six months of winter finally waved goodbye
Sometimes this world seems cold as ice

[Chorus]
Sometimes it’s summertime
All the sun’s gonna do is shine
Where all your worries melt away
Like snowflakes on an August day
Right now life is fine
Sometimes it’s summertime

Grab a cooler, a 12 pack
I’ll rub some lotion up and down your back
Flip flop living, stress free
Nothing to do we got no where to be
Come on baby drift away with me

[Chorus]
Sometimes it’s summertime
All the sun’s gonna do is shine
Where all your worries melt away
Like snowflakes on an August day
Right now life is fine
Sometimes it’s summertime

[Chorus]
Sometimes it’s summertime
All the sun’s gonna do is shine
All your worries melt away
Like snowflakes on an August day
Right now life is fine
Nothing but peace of mind
Leave all your cares behind
Sometimes it’s summertime

Sometimes it’s summertime

AARON LINES – Seeing Things

That night, that dress
Baby, I must confess
I was tongue-tied, but inside
My mind got way ahead of me
I’m stuck in this confusion
Trapped in some illusion
It’s all because of you
Somebody help me
I need an ice-cold glass of water
You left me out here in the desert
I’m losing it, hallucinating
Somebody save me
Pour me a strong cup of coffee
My eyes are playing tricks on me
What’s happening
Girl, you got me seeing things

Sunlight on you face
Waking up with you each day
My shirt on you
Just the thought’s driving me crazy
It’s like I’m in a daze
Some kind of lovesick haze
Before I go insane

Somebody help me
I need an ice-cold glass of water
You left me out here in the desert
I’m losing it, hallucinating
Somebody save me
Pour me a strong cup of coffee
My eyes are playing tricks on me
What’s happening
Girl, you got me seeing things

I’m drunk on love, I’m stoned on you
I’m wasted, your face is
Everywhere I turn

Somebody help me
I need an ice-cold glass of water
You left me out here in the desert
I’m losing it, hallucinating
Somebody save me
Pour me a strong cup of coffee
My eyes are playing tricks on me
What’s happening
Girl, you got me seeing things

AARON LINES – She Called Me Kansas

We sat and watched the sun come up
With a blanket wrapped around us
We spend all night out on that beach
Couldn’t hold her close enough to me
That was love I won’t forget
And I still remember what she said

She called me Kansas
She said that I reminded her of home
She called me Kansas
And I know I’ve never been there
But it’s a place I love to go

The April air, the crescent moon
Two wild hearts with nothing to lose
That weekend was all we had
But what I’d give for two more days like that
She looked at me and said goodbye
And kissed my lips one last time

She called me Kansas
She said that I reminded her of home
She called me Kansas
And I know I’ve never been there
But it’s a place I love to go

Kansas, I’ll always remember
Kansas, I hear your name and I am with her

She called me Kansas
She said that I reminded her of home
She called me Kansas
And I know I’ve never been there
But it’s a place I love to go

(Kansas) She said that I reminded her of home
She called me Kansas
And I know I’ve never been there
Oh, no (Kansas)
She called me Kansas

AARON LINES – Somebody's Son

I was watching the news tonight
Anchorman said there was a fight
And a young man died from his wounds
They showed pictures of the battle
And I almost turned the channel
Like I always seem to do
Then it hit me like a freight train coming through

That’s somebody’s son,
Somebody’s husband,
Somebody’s everything,
Out there someone’s coming undone
It made me wonder if anyone really wins
When every war has to be won
With somebody’s son

I walked down the hall to check
On my youngest lying in bed
And I stood there watching him dream
I tried but I couldn’t imagine how we would feel if something happened
And I didn’t have him here with me
Then I cried for that dead boy and his family

He’s somebody’s son,
Somebody’s husband,
Somebody’s everything,
Out there someone’s coming undone.
It made me wonder if anyone really wins
When every war has to be won
He’s somebody’s son

Somebody’s son,
Somebody’s husband,
Somebody’s everything.
Out there someone’s coming undone.
It made me wonder if anyone really wins
When every war has to be won
With somebody’s son

AARON LINES – Moments That Matter

I used to think I was a bigshot
Thought I had it all but guess what
Can’t measure life by the things you got
In the end it all ends up to nothing

I swear I missed so many birthdays
Valentines, hallowe’ens and anniversaries
Left me lonesome in the worst ways
But mister I learned something

[Chorus:]
You can’t buy back the moments that matter
You can’t buy back the moments that matter
There’s a big pot of gold at the top of the ladder
But you can’t buy back the moments that matter

Gonna play some football in the backyard
Teach my nephew how to play the guitar
Call up some old friends and play some cards
Waste a few Saturday evenings

Gonna take my wife out dancing
Every now and then without her asking
Spin her around singing and laughing
There’s memories we should be making

[Chorus]

All this talk about the good life
Makes me realize I got a great life
Gotta keep my priorities in sight
You just get one time around

[Chorus]

You can’t buy back the moments that matter
You can’t buy back the moments that matter
Years pass you buy and the days start to scatter
But you can’t buy back the moments that matter

AARON LINES – Nothing Like You

Well I’ve seen the sunset from the top of a mountain
And I’ve walked the streets of Katmandu
I’ve seen a sky so full of stars, I couldn’t count them
But I ain’t never seen nothing like you

I’ve felt forgiveness looking out over the ocean
I’ve been lonely in a cheap motel
I’ve felt love as gently brush against my skin
But I’ve never felt nothing like you

[Chorus]
You, you’re too beautiful for words
You, you move me so much it hurts
Never had something I was so afraid to lose
I never had nothing like you

Well I would give away all of my tomorrows
Let my soul turn black and blue
Just to spend one night lost in your arms
Cause I ain’t never had nothing like you
Never had nothing like you
Never had nothing like you

AARON LINES – Old Days New

It’s Friday night, county road
Seventeen, off we go
It’s summertime, not a care in the world
Well I remember

My two best friends and me
Takin’ a trip to feel the ocean breeze
Nothing but dreams as far as we could see
Oh I remember

When fillin’ that tank would seem like such a big deal
And how the wind in my hair with the sun coming up made me feel

Oh well I ain’t complaining (I ain’t complaining)
About the way things are (About the way things are)
Not so long ago life was oh so easy now
(Now when that innocence seems so far) When it seems so far
What I wouldn’t do to make the old days new

Jenny Thompson, our first date
I showed up early, she made me wait
Clumsy conversation with her dad
Well I remember

That bright red dress, the perfect fit
A romantic movie that I let her pick
We were both in the dark dreaming of love
Oh I remember

How her head on my shoulder seemed like such a big deal
And how the touch of her hand and that very first kiss made me feel, yeah

Well I ain’t complaining (I ain’t complaining)
About the way things are (About the way things are)
Not too long ago life was oh so easy now
(Now when that innocence seems so far) When it seems so far
What I wouldn’t do to make the old days new

Well I’ve got a thousand reasons to smile these days
I’ve got a thousand great memories that I can’t replace
But when there’s weight on my shoulders and tears on my face
Even years from now I know I’ll say

I ain’t complaining
About the way things are
Not too long ago life was oh so easy now
Now when that innocence seems so far
When it seems so far
What I wouldn’t do to make the old days new

I ain’t complaining
About the way things are
Not too long ago life was oh so easy now
Now when that innocence seems so far
When it seems so far
What I wouldn’t do to make the old days new

AARON LINES – Sand

There’s no place I’d rather be
Than on this blanket here with you
Watching that big red sunset
Into a Caribbean blue
We’re sure it’s hot down here
Or maybe it’s just you

Baby let’s get sand
In places sand just don’t belong
Let’s let the ocean waves
Gently serenade us
With a sexy island song
There’s no one around
And you keep turning me on and on and on
Baby let’s get sand
In places sand just don’t belong

Well I’m glad we stole that bottle
From a hotel tiki bar
And I’m glad the moon ain’t out tonight
So we can hide out in the dark
Let’s show off our tan lines
To that endless sea of stars

Baby let’s get sand
In places sand just don’t belong
Let’s let the ocean waves
Gently serenade us
With a sexy island song
There’s no one around
And you keep turning me on and on and on
Baby let’s get sand
In places sand just don’t belong

[Instr.]

Baby let’s get sand
In places sand just don’t belong
By tomorrow morning
Baby we’ll be boarding
That plane and flyin’ home
There’s no one around
God you’re turning me on and on and on
Baby let’s get sand
In places sand just don’t belong
Baby let’s get sand
In places sand just don’t belong

AARON LINES – Love Changes Everything

Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na, na na na

Bobby had everything he thought he’d ever need
A fancy new car and a master’s degree
Still he’s feeling lost, with no purpose in life
And nothing seems to fill the empty space inside
He sees an ad on late night TV
Says ‘Change a kid’s life with just a couple hours a week’
Normally he’d keep clicking, just surfing around
But something makes him stop and write that number down
Oh, it’s amazing how love changes everything

Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na, na na na
Love changes everything
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na, na na na

Well, Sara does her best just to keep the faith
But ever since he left, its hard to find the strength
She wipes a tear from her eye as she puts the groceries on the shelf
Cause after dinner, baths and homework, there’s no time for herself
Two jobs, two kids, too tired to fight
No money, no romance, no end in sight
Just when she thinks she can’t go on
She sees a painting on the fridge that says ‘I love you Mom’
Oh, it’s amazing how love changes everything

Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na, na na na
Love changes everything
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na, na na na

Well, I know we’ve got problems
We’ve got to figure out, baby
Yeah, I know we haven’t been talking or touching much lately
But I know this love’s
Got a lot of life left in it
Oh, so let me hold you close, I don’t wanna let you go
Baby, let me know, we won’t wait another minute

Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na, na na na
Love changes everything
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na, na na na

It can change the world, it can change your mind
It can change your tire in the middle of the night
It can change your name, it can change your heart
It can change your tune, it can change your life

AARON LINES – Lovers On The Run

He said let’s steal a car, get outta here
I got money for gas and beer
Let’s point this car down a two-lane road
Just follow where the headlights go
She said I’m tired of this town anyway
Days go by but things don’t change
If I stay here I know I’ll die
Without ever really being alive

Hey, there ain’t nothing stronger
Than lovers on the run
Hey, you can’t stop a bullet
Once it leaves the gun
Lovers on the run

She slept in the dashboard light
He stayed awake and drove all night
Ran his fingers through her hair
On their way to everywhere

Morning came and she called home
From an Idaho gas station phone
She slammed the door sat down and cried
Kissed him hard and just said drive

Hey, there ain’t nothing stronger
Than lovers on the run
Hey, you can’t stop a bullet
Once it leaves the gun
Lovers on the run

Love is a fast train, love is a slow rain
You can’t stoop it, no you can’t stop it……

Hey, there ain’t nothing stronger
Than lovers on the run
Hey, you can’t stop a bullet
Once it leaves the gun
Lovers on the run

AARON LINES – Let's Get Drunk And Fight

Let me pour you a tall one,
Come sit down next to me.
Baby you look so good,
In those faded jeans.

I’ve been stoned cold sober,
You’ve been cold as ice.
I got a good idea,
Let’s get drunk and fight!

[CHORUS:]
Let’s get drunk and fight,
Keep the neighbors up all night.
You can scream at me,
And I’ll make you cry.
And when the morning comes,
We’ll make some make-up love,
While we apologize.
But tonight,let’s get drunk and fight!

Have another pina colada
And get good and torqued down
If you need a pinata
You can kick me around!
You can insult my mother
And I’ll question your past.
It turns me on when you’re pissed off
Cuz, you look hot when you’re mad.

[chorus x2]

Baby tonight,
Let’s get drunk & fight!
